Line 28:
** Scat Cat also bears no small resemblance to [[Ink Suit Actor|his voice]] [[wikipedia:Scatman Crothers|Scatman Crothers]].
* [[Casanova]]: Implied with O'Malley, who lathers Duchess in praise like a pro. He later seems surprised by how true his comments were.
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Averted by the kindly Duchess and her kittens who are friends with a mouse named Roquefort. Used straight when Scat Cat's gang tries to eat Roquefort, then immediately subverted when he manages to spit out O'Malley's name and tell them Duchess and the kittens are in
* [[Cats Have Nine Lives]]: The reason Edgar wants the cats out of the way; he figures that he will never inherit Madame's fortune because the cats will outlive him.
** Considering Edgar's age and that cats can live for over 20 years, he could be right about them outliving him even if he's wrong about the nine lives.
Line 55:
** The whole movie, plot-wise, is essentially ''[[101 Dalmatians|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'' but in France, with cats, and with a much less [[Ax Crazy]] villain. With a dash of ''[[Lady and the Tramp]]'' thrown in for good measure.
* [[The Edwardian Era]]
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Two
* [[French Cuisine Is Haughty]]: Featured a dish called Prime Country Goose a la Provençale, which is apparently "stuffed with chestnuts" and "basted in white wine."
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Edgar served Madame Bonafamille faithful and loyally all his life for having her leaving all her fortune to her cats which don't even know what is it.
Line 107:
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Bill Thompson as the ''hilariously'' drunk Uncle Waldo.
** Even the main characters comment on it. "I like Uncle Waldo." "Yes, especially when he's 'marinated.'"
*** Unfortunately, this was also Bill Thompson's final role in an animated film, due to him dying of a heart attack a few months later.
** More of a two-scene wonder, but Napoleon and Lafayette steal the show whenever they appear. Their southern accents and hilarious dynamic helps a lot.
* [[Overly Long Name]]: Thomas O'Malley's full name is Abraham De Lacey Gi-u-sep-pe Casey Thomas O'Malley. He introduces himself with an [["I Am" Song]] based on the name.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Duchess:
Line 115 ⟶ 116:
* [[Parent with New Paramour]]: Duchess and Thomas.
* [[Parental Bonus]]: Most young children won't catch the pun on "aristocrats," but their parents will.
** Also, O'Malley calling his buddies swingers and Shun Gon saying Berlioz "blew it". ''Yeah''...
* [[Pet Heir]]
* [[Pun-Based Title]]: Let me guess...they're cats from the upper class?
* [[Railroad Tracks of Doom]]: Over an insecure bridge, no less. Between ending up in the locomotive's plow and the fast-flowing river below, the cats choose the river.
* [[Sarcasm Mode]]: Although O'Malley's compliments of Duchess seem fairly genuine, the way he lathers the geese seems to be dripping with sarcasm.
* [[Say My Name]]: O'Malley learns Marie's name solely due to [[Damsel in Distress|the number of times Duchess yells it when she gets into trouble.]]
Line 132 ⟶ 134:
* [[Talking Animal]]: To be specific, [[Animal Talk|translated animal]].
* [[Tempting Fate]]: "You're going to Timbuktu if it's the last thing I do!" Guess who ends up going there instead!
** "It's not exactly the Ritz but it's peaceful and quiet an-" Cue the lights turned on and Scat Cat and the gang playing music. That being said, Duchess and the kittens do end up joining the fun, so it's not bad at all.
* [[That's All Folks]]: The dogs at the end of the film.
* [[That Was Not a Dream]]: Toulouse wakes up while being kidnapped. He somehow gets back to sleep, and when he wakes up again, he dismisses the events as a dream at first.
** It happened to Madame, too, although her dream probably didn't show Edgar committing the deed, or she'd have suspected him.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Toulouse, Berlioz, Napoleon, LaFayette...
* [[Those Two Guys|Those Two Dogs]]: Napoleon and
* [[What Song Was This Again?]]: "Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat" becomes ''Every cat is a musician'' in the Greek version, "Everyone wants to play some Jazz" in the Italian version, and "Cats need lots of music" in the German version.
* [[White and Grey Morality]]: The protagonists are a family of good cats. The antagonist is a greedy butler who, on the other hand, probably served faithfully Madame Bonfamille the whole life and he arguably had rights to the inehritance.
